Utah Motorsports Campus is the top destination for racing in the Beehive State, in Grantsville, 30 miles west of Salt Lake City. The genesis of this motorsports complex came in 2006 when Larry H. Miller, the owner of the NBA franchise Utah Jazz, brought the South African race track designer Allan Wilson to create a playground for automobile, motorcycle, and karting racers in the state. The results were solid: four multipurpose racing circuits providing high-speed segments combined with technically challenging trajectories for all types of motor vehicles.
The scenery around Utah Motorsports Campus is remarkable, with the snow-capped Wasatch Mountains on the horizon and clear skies most of the year. Each of its four layouts has something to offer: the Outer Circuit is one of the fastest road courses in America. The East & West Circuits are very demanding tracks able to operate simultaneously. The Full Course is the second-longest raceway in America. Many professional racing associations have Utah Motorsports Campus as a staple part of their racing season, including AMA Superbike Championship, NASCAR K&N Pro Series West, American Le-Mans Series, and several other racing events.
The Outer Circuit in Utah Motorsport Campus has a total length of 3.05 miles and is the fastest layout with an average speed of 85 mph. The average lap time for traveling the whole 14 turns of the Outer Circuit is 2:09.422. The Front Stretch extends from turn 14 to turn one and is a perfect spot to speed up to 200 mph (321.9 km/h) or even more. The rest of the circuit consists of long, fast-paced sweepers and only one tight corner known as the Black Rock Hairpin.
